I still think that you would be great at painting Ellis Island hairstyles though! Belated anniversary wishes! Visiting beautiful gardens and eating great food sounds like a good way to celebrate. Your petunia flowers painting is so life like. You have really captured the deep velvety purple of the petals. A wonderful observation brought to life! :)Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-44742610543503966532017-06-30T10:26:55.310-05:002017-06-30T10:26:55.310-05:00Yes.

Saying yes to gardening, harvesting and walking around in sunshine feeds your soul and gives you balance when you return to work.

We need to follow our hearts and not get caught up in what is popular. Great to hear that Rachel Taylor's pattern classes were a good fit for you. I have heard good things about them!<br /><br />Hope you're having a lovely week!Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-40712908957803456522017-06-27T13:36:53.372-05:002017-06-27T13:36:53.372-05:00I took the MATS a few years ago but none of it res...I took the MATS a few years ago but none of it resonated with me. When we were doing plants and flowers I rather enjoyed it but once the other assignments came through I found I was not interested in that type of thing at all. I did very much enjoy Rachael Taylor's pattern making classes though.Roberta Warshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869094383053871169noreply@blogger.com
